Had a great time meeting the team and being hosted in Kingsport. Talked with the technical team and the HR department. The technical questions were critical as they are looking to hire a senior scientist. It was a day-long interview process.

We had an on-campus panel interview first. Then there was a short virtual interview. The next thing was a 40-minute research talk with questions. After that, there were two more panel interviews, each lasting about an hour. Everyone was respectful, but I was disappointed not to get any feedback or response after the last round.
